Abstract
Historical costumes are part of cultural heritage. Unlike architectural monuments, they are very fragile, which exacerbates the problems of their protection and popularisation. A big help in this can be the digitisation of their appearance, preferably using modern techniques of three-dimensional representation (3D). The article presents the results of the search for examples and methodologies of implementing 3D scanning of exhibited historical clothes as well as the attendant problems. From a review of scientific literature it turns out that so far practically no one in the world has made any methodical attempts at scanning historical clothes using structured-light 3D scanners (SLS) and developing an appropriate methodology. The vast majority of methods for creating 3D models of clothes used photogrammetry and 3D modelling software. Therefore, an innovative approach was proposed to the problem of creating 3D models of exhibited historical clothes through their digitalisation by means of a 3D scanner using structural light technology. A proposal for the methodology of this process and concrete examples of its implementation and results are presented. The problems related to the scanning of 3D historical clothes are also described, as well as a proposal how to solve them or minimise their impact. The implementation of the methodology is presented on the example of scanning elements of the Emir of Bukhara's costume (Uzbekistan) from the end of the nineteenth century, consisting of the gown, turban and shoes. Moreover, the way of using 3D models and information technologies to popularise cultural heritage in the space of digital resources is also discussed.
Highlights
Digitisation of cultural heritage objects is a method of preserving their appearance in binary form, which can be automatically processed using computer techniques
Conclusion of the literature review In conclusion, a review of the available scientific literature and Internet sources can be concluded that very few works are devoted to 3D scanning of historical clothes using 3D scanners, especially those based on structural light technology
Works that were identified during the query show that the whole potential of 3D scanners is not used
Summary
Digitisation of cultural heritage objects is a method of preserving their appearance in binary form, which can be automatically processed using computer techniques. Documenting cultural heritage requires high precision, and geometrically accurate mapping of the shape. This mapping is the basis for its Montusiewicz et al Herit Sci (2021) 9:74 cataloguing, reproduction, renewal, popularisation, and if necessary, and reconstruction. Technological development in the area of information technology has led to the development of digitisation systems, on the one hand, and the possibility of a wide reception of digital information by practically the whole society, on the other. In the era of universal access to the Internet and the fact that members of society have computers and mobile devices with great possibilities of processing and presenting data, a wide market has emerged for recipients of digital information about cultural heritage sites
